Allow configuration of new user verification method

[dcsjapan]

Originally suggested in https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/641 by @moutonnoireu, who would like the ability to turn off email verification of new users. It might also be a good idea to consider other user approval methods at the same time. Common options are:

• Email verification
• Hold for admin approval
• Both of the above
• Nothing (automatic approval)

The second option would require a permission to determine who can approve registrations. Some forums may want to allow mods to approve new users; others may want to reserve this power for admins only.

YES.

Any update on this? I want to disable native registeration, and use third-party login only. Is this possible, or how should I change to achieve this?

It is planned for the stable version. No progress yet, unfortunately.

Having email registration without confirmation means you can signup anybody to the forum which could cause its own set of issues.

To my mind this is absolutely required for any production use.

This recently came up with https://github.com/flarum/core/pull/2997. I think we should refactor this system so that "activation" requires every enabled "activation driver" to be satisfied. Email confirmation could be one of these, manual approval could be another via extension.
